In support of local businesses, the City of Alameda has moved forward with the 2015 “Parking Meter Holiday” -- providing free street parking at metered spaces in the downtown district on most Saturdays in December. This includes the public parking lot W.

The “Parking Meter Holidays” are:Saturday, December 19Saturday, December 26

Although the meters will be free on these days, the 2-hour parking limit will still be enforced.

The West AlamedaBusiness Association is providing signage for each parking meter, as well as the staff to place and remove the signage.

Businesses are encouraged to inform your customers about the free 2-hour parking on Saturdays.

Special Note: Please let employees know this is a benefit for CUSTOMERS. Time limits will still be enforced and any long-term parking will get ticketed.
